Step 5: Change CPU Vcore settings
CPU Vcore: Raising this helps keeps the system stable at higher CPU frequencies. However, it also increases the amount of heat your CPU produces. We suggest you to keep Vcore at 1.35v when overclocking to 4.8Ghz while using a midrange air cooler – however— CPUs differ, some require higher voltages to be stable, some lower. There’ s a large component of luck involved. Note that changing Vcore voltage also changes your Uncore voltage since they are on the same rail.
CPU VCCIO and CPU System Agent Voltage: Both of these settings help when we overclock the DRAM frequency. Values up to 1.4-1.45V are high but they are ok if you are using air cooling. Since we used X. M. P. profiles for our memory these voltages will be automatically set.
Step 6: Save your settings
Last but not least of the BIOS procedure is to save the BIOS profile we just created. You will find this option on the last page of the BIOS named“ Save & Exit”.
